The split-window Corvette is routinely considered one of the most beautiful cars on the road. This particular Corvette was designed by Larry Shinoda, one of GM’s most prolific designers at the time. The sleek design of the Corvette was only magnified by the fact that it was an extremely rare model. It was only manufactured for the single year of 1963 and there wasn’t a split window model after it (via Top Speed).

There was also a Z06 performance package that was an option during this model year, increasing the rarity of the car dramatically. The excellent build quality and the performance of the split window cemented it in automotive history. The split-window Corvette is by far one of the most impressive Corvette models that has been released in the history of the nameplate.
